Isaiah 30:22

Compare all

20 And though the Lord gives you
^aThe bread of adversity and the water of¹ affliction,
Yet ^byour teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore,
But your eyes shall see your teachers.

21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,”
Whenever you ^aturn to the right hand
Or whenever you turn to the left.

22 ^aYou will also defile the covering of your images of silver,
And the ornament of your molded images of gold.
You will throw them away as an unclean thing;
^bYou will say to them, “Get away!”

23 ^aThen He will give the rain for your seed
With which you sow the ground,
And bread of the increase of the earth;
It will be¹ fat and plentiful.
In that day your cattle will feed
In large pastures.

24 Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground
Will eat cured fodder,
Which has been winnowed with the shovel and fan.

Isaiah 30:22

Ye shall defile "Ye shall treat as defiled" - The very prohibition of Moses, Deuteronomy 7:25, only thrown out of the prose into the poetical form: "The graven images of their gods ye shall burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or the gold that is on them; nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein; for it is an abomination to Jehovah thy God."
